I’m not sure if I’ve ever told this story here. A few years ago, I did a sample drawing of a swan for a tiny publisher as an audition for a picture book they were doing. I didn’t get the book– apparently the swan I drew didn’t fit the project.

But it got me thinking about the many different ways I could draw a swan or any given topic. That eventually led me to these daily drawings and which I try to draw the same animal or topic differently every day for a month. But I never got around to drawing multiple swans. Until now.
